Ghana FA finally agrees for clubs to record Premier League games

Premier League Clubs have been permitted to record their league matches after a meeting with the Ghana Football Association (GFA) on Monday.

The meeting, held via video call, had Chief Executive Officers of clubs participating.

Joy Sports gathers there was a unanimous voice from the premiership clubs as they kicked against the directive of the governing body barring them from videotaping matches for non-commercial use.

The directive led to a hard-hitting response from Asante Kotoko, who described the move of the FA as “absurd, primitive and backward.”

The position of Kotoko was initially backed by seven clubs, but it appears they had more support on Monday as all the others showed solidarity with the record Ghana league champions.

Asante Kotoko also demanded a copy of the contract between the GFA and StarTimes, but that was not made available to members.

That said, the Porcupine Warriors continue to insist they need a copy of the agreement reached between the Chinese broadcaster and the football governing body.

It is unclear when the contract will be given to Kotoko, but what is definite is that the Porcupines will not renege on their request.

Joy Sports sources say the Clubs will formally petition GFA for a copy of the contract after the FA failed to show signs of willingness to avail a copy to members at the meeting.

Medeama is believed to be a notable club backing the demand for the contract.
